And...I have to agree with Tantum. I've thought for awhile that Church Militant TV is over the top in their attack on the traditionalists. The smearing of Catholic Family News, John Vennari, Chris Ferrara, et al earlier this year was beyond the pale. I blogged about it at the time because I thought it was so unprofessional.

Wow! You didn't know that Obama was on the side of the little ones and against Planned Parenthood's organ harvesting atrocities, did you?

Oh wait!

When he said he's against it, he wasn't talking about his friend Cecile's organ harvesting atrocities, he was addressing a practice in Africa where albinos are murdered and their organs used in ritual sacrifices. Here's what he said to the Young African Leaders' Initiative (YALI):

If there’s one thing I want YALI leaders to come out with, it’s the notion of you are strong by taking care of the people who are vulnerable, by looking after the minority, looking after the disabled, looking after the vulnerable. You’re not strong by putting people down you’re strong by lifting them up. That’s the measure of a leader.

And Planned Parenthood "has volume because they're a volume institution." And a lot of that "volume" comes from money provided by the taxpayers that lets them promote their false image as a caring organization that really helps women.

The question is, however, whether the conscience of this country is too dead to wake up. How many German citizens closed their eyes to the callous murder of millions of already born individuals? How many held their noses to avoid smelling the stench from the crematoriums in the camps and held their ears to avoid hearing the cries of the prisoners packed into railroad cars?

We've been doing the same thing in the U.S. since the 1960s when the first abortion laws were passed. And now will people see and repent? Let's pray so. None of us knows how much time this country has left, but one thing is for sure. We deserve a major chastisement and God has been more than patient with us. Remember what the Blessed Mother said at Fatima, "Do not offend the Lord our God any more, for He is already too much offended!" And that was in 1917! Have we improved since then? Conversion begins with prayer and repentance. Let's do penance for our own sins and the many souls who are in danger of hell.

How could a supporter and contributor to pro-abortion candidates, one a Planned Parenthood director, possibly be considered an appropriate president for the World Meeting of Families and a member of its board of directors?

It is this kind of betrayal and coddling of the CINOs (Catholics in Name Only) that shocks and offends the faithful in the pews. And I do mean "the faithful." Not everyone warming a pew has a Catholic mind and heart. Robert Ciaruffoli surely doesn't have them. If he had a heart for the most vulnerable member of the family, the little one waiting to be born, he could not possibly finance champions of their murder. If he had a mind for the faith he would give rational assent to Church teachings.

I considered going to the World Meeting of Families. More and more I'm glad I didn't waste the time or money. I'll continue praying for the event and for those who attend, but when a Judas is spearheading the event, (One presumes the "president" has some important role.) can one really expect God to bless it?

Let us pray a decade of the rosary, the Crucifixion, in reparation for this serious scandal. Thanks to the Lepanto Institute for exposing it.

Ah, these heroic doctors helping the sad and depressed to kill themselves. You can almost see them salivating at the thought they can kill one more patient without ever talking to family members. How they honor the wishes and the autonomy of their patients. Give me a break!

How can anybody read an article like this and think we can have a "reasonable hope" that all will be saved. Universal salvation is patently wishful thinking in the face of diabolical evil like this.

1. Private enterprise is more effective than government one-size-fits-all at producing success.

2. School choice works. It improves performance and offers greater opportunities and more success to students.

3. The Catholic principle of subsidiarity works. The lowest level of responsibility and authority should take precedence over higher levels. In this case, parents suddenly had real impact in decisions about their children's education. They became the authority on selecting the best situation for their families.

The current system is not without critics including those frustrated with the difficulty of navigating the system. But New Orleans' students are doing much better than before and a failing system is now graduating most students with many going on to college.

Abby Johnson of And Then There Were None has begun a new project called Love Letters. It was inspired by the broken-hearted mother of an abortionist who asked her how she could reach her daughter. It inspired this poignant letter. Read more at the website. Please pray for Cheryl and for her heartbroken parents. Is there any worse grief than fearing your child will go to hell? I am asking Blessed Jacinta, who had such a heart for sinners, to intercede for this abortionist and her family.

My husband and I provided a shelter home for a dozen unwed mothers over the years. Two were rape victims. One was attacked and injured in a brutal rape. She lost her baby. The other was the victim of a date rape. What the young woman in this video says rings so true because it echoes the stories of the two rape victims who lived with us. I used to wake one of them up from terrible nightmares and comfort her. She never had nightmares about the pregnancy -- only about the rape.

Abortion doesn't eliminate a rape or purge the horrifying memories. It simply does to the baby what the rapist did to her -- commits an act of violence against an innocent person. Which is why rape victims who have abortions receive a double whammy of trauma -- first from the rape itself and then from the technological rape of the abortion. Many of the aftereffects of abortion are the same as those from rape: low self esteem, depression, guilt, sleep disorders, anger, nightmares. drug and alcohol abuse to numb the pain, etc. So instead of abortion helping the woman, it doubles her trauma.

ABORTION IS NEVER A SOLUTION. IT ONLY CREATES MORE PROBLEMS!

Love is the answer, love of the woman and love for her baby. God bless Lianna for sharing her story. May her witness save many women from making the supreme mistake of listening to those who say abortion will solve their "problem." Lianna's baby wasn't a "punishment" as Obama says, but a gift who saved her!

Nearly 300 supporters of the Right to Life gathered this morning for a rally and prayer vigil in front of the Planned Parenthood facility on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. The event was part of a National Day of Protest against the abortion giant. More than fifty pro-life organizations in three hundred communities across the United States staged demonstrations today calling for the de-funding, investigation and criminal prosecution of Planned Parenthood.

The protests came after shocking revelations that Planned Parenthood harvests and merchandises the organs of the pre-born children it destroys in abortions, haggles over prices in fetal parts trafficking, and even performs partial birth abortions to procure body parts.

The Boston rally was organized by Operation Rescue: Boston and 40 Days For Life. Among the groups participating was the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, whose Executive Director, C. J. Doyle, addressed the assembled protesters.

In his remarks, Doyle criticized the various Catholic educational institutions and religious orders who---contrary to explicit church policy---have given honors, awards and platforms to elected officials who have been endorsed by Planned Parenthood. Among the examples cited by Doyle was the decision of Jesuit administered Boston College to invite Secretary of State John Kerry to deliver the 2014 commencement address; similar invitations by BC Law School to U. S. Senator Ed Markey and Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy; the 2015 address by Georgia Congressman John Lewis to graduates of Our Lady of the Elms College in Chicopee; and the Humanitarian Award given in 2014 to State Representative Kevin Honan by the Sisters of Saint Joseph in Boston.

Doyle also criticized Boston College for offering student internships directly with Planned Parenthood.

Doyle said:"Pro-Life Catholics should not be forced to wage a two front war---against a culture of death in secular society, and against a culture of betrayal in our own Church. We cannot hope to persuade our fellow citizens of the justice of our cause, if that cause is not first vindicated and upheld in our own religious institutions, which profess to be and which ought to be pro-life. If we are to defeat Planned Parenthood, we must reform the Catholic Church."

How US Sugar Policies Just Helped America Lose 600 Jobs
Our policies make absolutely no sense. Now, when the problem is state regulation, industries can just move to a more business friendly state. I remember Mike Farris comparing the laws related to hog raising between two southern states. One's loss of producers was the other state's gain. But what can you do when the feds create barriers? Good-bye jobs!

Maybe in fifty years people the illegal immigrants will be U.S. citizens heading to Mexico for jobs.

Deliberately misleading the enemy is morally justified
according to St. Thomas Aquinas.

That question is front and center again following the release of the video sting of Planned Parenthood. It was a big question when Lila Rose did her expose showing the willingness of "counselors" at the abortion giant willing to cover up statutory rape and send young women they believed to be minors back into the hands of sex predators.

Now we're in round 2 with the Center for Medical Progress. Were their tactics legitimate? When, in fact, is it morally justifiable to wear a disguise or to carry out a covert operation where people will be misled? Certainly those committing evil have no right to the truth. If the Nazi at the door asks if there are any Jews in the house, the homeowner is perfectly justified in saying, "No!" with the mental reservation "not for you!"

If you can't attend one of the 300 rallies against Planned Parenthood help arm the warriors by attending Mass and praying the rosary. To see if there is a rally near you, go here. This is the biggest demonstration against Planned Parenthood ever to take place in this country and has the potential to cut off the head of this Goliath despite its protection by the elite liberal establishment and the corrupt mainstream media. Pray and fight. Bring your rosary to the rally and pray continuously. The Blessed Mother has the power to crush the head of the serpent. The Lord loves to use humble instruments to undo and destroy the pride of the devil. Come in humility in imitation of the Lord's humble maidservant, Mary. And may God give the victory.

Read more here about the intact baby brought to the "procurement specialist" who was instructed to cut the baby's head to procure the brain. Lovely, eh? A born baby with a beating heart is deliberately murdered to get the important parts for sale. Thank God Holly decided to quit after committing the last atrocity. Pray for her. What memories she must have.

His religious values form his conscience and he doesn't want to cooperate in a same-sex wedding. But bakers aren't allowed to have consciences except, no doubt, if it comes to making a cake with a confederate flag or with an image of a southern belle in a hoop skirt.

If anyone doubts that we live in an X-rated loony land these rulings illustrate it in spades. They also make it clear that big-time persecution is on the way. If homosexuals have a right to force a baker to make them a wedding cake, how much more do they have the right to force ministers to provide the wedding! "After all," say Adam and Steve, "We're Catholics and we have the right to be treated just like every other Catholic couple. It's a matter of civil rights. Fr. Orthodox is just showing his discrimination against us. It's time, like Hillary Clinton says, to force churches to change their views on abortion -- even more so on the rights of couples like us to celebrate our lust love before God."

Yup, all those backwards Christians must be forced into the new world order where sodomy is equal to marriage and abortion and contraception are sacraments. Human sacrifice, literal for the babies and figurative for bakers et al, are new world laws. Sieg Heil to the empire!

Is it any surprise that the secular media is ignoring the Planned Parenthood scandal. Hey, they're in bed together! They are champions of abortion and would never raise a squeak to endanger the abortion giant they love. Here's a great article by Joseph Schaeffer, Why News Corporations Protect Planned Parenthood that connects the dots between PP and its cheerleaders.Schaeffer describes "an elaborate network of personal connections, business ties and charitable foundation links between Planned Parenthood and a stunning number of major media outlets, including all four of the major television networks." Many corporations (Disney, Ford, AOL, etc.) that own media outlets provide protective cover for Planned Parenthood. So is it any wonder that 70% of Americans are clueless about Planned Parenthood's baby body part salesl? Not hardly.

But the minions of death won't take this lying down. Obama is threatening states. He kisses up to Cecile Richards and says, "God bless you," to an organization that essentially pimps women to the baby body part industry.

But what an interesting scenario with the feds and the states in a clash over the new slavery. Remember, slaves were the "property" of their owners. Babies are the "property" of their mothers and, apparently, of the Planned Parenthood body snatchers. Let's see how this new war between a Leviathan federal government and the states turns out.

Stay tuned. This all makes me think of the statue of Our Lady of Grace standing on the snake. Mary's intercession is crucial to the defeat of the devil and his minions at Planned Parenthood. The abortionist is like a snake handler and his instruments are like snakes. He uses his dilators and suction tube to commit a technological rape of the woman and murder the little one she carries. Pray for Mary's intercession to crush the snakes and the handlers. She and her Son share the same holy agenda -- to save souls from the devil. And Planned Parenthood is one of the biggest blood-lusting devils on the planet. People are starting to realize the truth about how evil it is. Now is the time to multiply your rosaries and prayers to Our Lady. "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."

The article linked below by Chris Manion goes far in explaining why so many have left the Church. When the guard at the gate blows a faint trumpet, who will respond? The City of God is under siege and those with the responsibility to protect the people have abandoned their posts.

Manion points out that the Catholic Church gets over a billion dollars a year from the feds and then tells us something his dad use to tell his law students, “if you take the first bribe, you may as well take the rest.”

Consider what's going on in the collapsing German Church which gets megabucks from the government and ask if the same thing, in a different way, is happening here in the U.S. A billion dollars (plus the tax exemption) can buy a lot of silence, don't you think?

More and more, the culture of death is showing its demonic face in celebration of evil. Last year it was the black Mass in Oklahoma City. A few weeks ago it was up front and personal in Detroit with a Satanic group unveiling a 9-foot bronze statue of Baphomet (Lucifer) flanked by two children looking up with worship in their eyes. (Remember the millstone for those who scandalize children?)

Go here for a great explanation on sex, marriage, why contraception is wrong, and Natural Family Planning. God is not the big spoilsport in the sky. He gave us love and marriage to generate new souls for heaven and to help us to be happy here on earth. If you follow his rule book you have a better chance to succeed in your "pursuit of happiness." Catholics who follow Church teaching on marriage don't get STDs, have a much lower chance of divorcing, have a lower risk of contracting breast cancer and other diseases associated with artificial hormones, etc.

If you bought a Porsche wouldn't you read the manual from cover to cover to make sure you did everything necessary to keep it in good working order? Well....you ARE more valuable than any Porsche and if you want to keep yourself and others in mint (baptismal) condition, it's not that hard. Read the manual and follow its directions. What's the manual? Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, writings of the Church Fathers and the saints.

Life is an exciting and wonderful adventure. You will enjoy it the most, if you follow the rules set down by the "life coach." Don't let the lies of the enemy mess up your adventure. It can easily become a nightmare that way.

Yes, the smoke of Satan has invaded the sanctuary and so-called Catholic schools. Why any Catholic parent would spend their hard-earned money to underwrite the loss of their children's faith is beyond me. Just say no, parents, to Georgetown, Notre Dame, Loyola Marymount, and just about every Jesuit school in the country. And pray for these "educators" who are educating children right into the jaws of hell!

No Contest! Planned Parenthood facilities are almost all in inner city neighborhoods where they prey on the poor and minorities. Blacks represent about 12% of the population. Black women have almost 40% of the abortions. In New York City 78% of the abortions are on black and Hispanic mothers. Almost two out of three pregnancies among black women end in abortion. CNN reported in 2014 that NYC's abortion numbers for 2011 (the latest available), 76,251 for one year, outstripped every state in the country. Hey, it's the Big Apple after all. BA stands for Big Abortion. (Read more here.) Check out the map below with all the Planned Parenthood facilities in NYC and surroundings. No wonder NYC is the abortion capitol of the country!

Walker Percy wrote this comment in an essay called Why Are You a Catholic in the late 80s which is why his abortion figure is way too low. You can read the essay in a book of his essays published posthumously in 1991 calledSignposts in a Strange Land.

Americans are the nicest, most generous, and sentimental people on earth. Yet Americans have killed more unborn children than any nation in history. ... It is not "horrible" that over a million unborn children were killed in America last year. For one thing, one does not see many people horrified. It is not horrible, because in an age of theory and consumption it is appropriate that actions be carried out as the applications of theory and the needs of consumption require.

Percy's comment is especially ironic in view of the recent outcry over the "horrible" shooting of Cecil the lion. The press has spent many times over the ink on Cecil than on the recent expose of Planned Parenthood's callous brutality. Many Americans have sentimentalized Cecil to the point of absurdity, but they have nothing but indifference for the little one in the womb literally ripped limb from limb as we've seen in the videos released by the Center for Medical Progress.

"Induced abortion is found to be the best predictor, and fertility is also a useful predictor," he writes. "The increase in breast cancer incidence appears to be best explained by an increase in abortion rates, especially nulliparous abortions, and lower fertility."

As a breast cancer survivor (one who never used the pill or had an abortion), I can testify to its being a terrifying experience. I wonder how many women who knew how much they risk contracting the deadly disease if they have an abortion would exercise their "choice." Maybe I should make a bumper sticker:

Choose Abortion = Choose Breast Cancer

Any woman with a history of breast cancer in her family has to be brain dead to have an abortion! And often, those women have more virulent forms when they contract it. Planned Parenthood not only kills babies and traffics in baby body parts, they are a major contributor to breast cancer in this country.

He couldn't win a senator's seat in Virginia and he thinks he can win the presidency? God forbid. He ran such a slimy campaign against State Delegate Bob Marshall in the Republican primary for Senate in 2008, I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher. And he sure doesn't have what it takes to be president!

Well, it's just one more indication that this is going to be one weird election season.

He's certainly making the Republican primary interesting. But does he really stand for anything? Why did he talk with Bill and Hillary before entering the race? Does he have any solid principles or is he just taking some positions that will appeal to the grass roots Republicans and plans to run a third party candidacy which will ensure a Democratic victory?

Let's hope there's a domino effect and we see lots more of this. It's high time Planned Parenthood was banned from raping the taxpayers! The states may not be able to cut off all the money since so much comes from federal contracts, but if every state cut off the baby-killing giant, it would put quite a dent in their filthy murder-for-hire and baby-body-part-selling profits.

"Bishop David Kagan of Bismarck, North Dakota has been the first bishop to publicly denounce the Boy Scouts' decision last week to lift the ban on gay adult leaders, issuing a letter to the faithful stating the diocese could no longer in good conscience sponsor troops." Read more....

A big thank you to Bishop Kagan for having the courage to risk the wrath of hate-filled homosexuals who will no doubt be attacking him for daring to stand against their politically correct agenda. Please pray for him.

"If we throw out all the Hispanics, who will clean Trump's toilet?" Wow! Just Wow!

And see how her liberal colleagues give her cover. We all know liberals who say, "I would never have an abortion, but we need it for the poor...or the overpopulated countries in Africa...or for those folks in the ghetto." Liberals are the most racist people on the planet!

I never imagined that in my 21st century "modern" era I will ever re-live my grandmother's 1920's stories of killing of newborn twin babies and primitive native "medicine men" (known in my Igbo language as dibia) who in order to "consult with the gods" would demand animal (and sometimes human) hearts, livers and lungs.

Boycott polio vaccine over safety concerns, Kenya’s Catholic bishops urge faithful
Read it and weep. This is the same U.N. that the pope is inviting to participate in "climate change" meetings. What is more dangerous to the people of Africa? Questionable climate change science used to whip up hysteria and manipulate the masses, or mass vaccination programs that target women with anti-fertility drugs that cause miscarriage and spontaneous abortion?

These guys were caught several years ago about the mammogram lie. It's deja vu all over again. Cecile Richards is repeating the same old lie for which she received three Pinocchios from the Washington Post at the time. You'd think they would have learned, but I guess lying is so endemic with these folks they think nobody will remember.

Pay attention to the answer the Georgetown facility gave to the caller. "We're mostly a surgical facility." (i.e., we kill babies!) Is it any surprise that many Democrats in Congress, a big bunch of liars, are in bed with this killing machine? After all, Planned Parenthood pumps big bucks into the campaign chests of their buddies. And now they've hired a major league PR firm, SKD Knickerbocker, to run damage control for them. They also have lobby firm, Capitol Counsel, on the payroll. Note that they spent $1.3 on lobbying in the first six months of 2015. That's your money folks. $528 million+ buys a lot of influence! Add that to their abortion and baby parts business and that's plenty of moola (but just a drop in the pocket) to keep their hands in the taxpayers' pockets.

Pray and then send a message or make a call to your senators asking them to defund Planned Parenthood. You can find their contact information here. Here's what I just sent to my two senators and if I have time, I'll call their legislative aides later:

In view of the horrible and illegal activities taking place in Planned Parenthood facilities why on earth are $528 million+ in taxpayer dollars going to this corporation? Besides, Obamacare makes them totally irrelevant as a "health care" provider. There is no community where Planned Parenthood operates that there isn't a community health care center, hospital system or rural service that can't provide what they do as cheaply or cheaper. I also resent the continued lie that they provide breast cancer screening. They don't -- all they do is refer to other providers. So if I have to go to another center anyway, why should I go to Planned Parenthood at all? As a breast cancer survivor, I urge you to vote to defund Planned Parenthood.

Ever hear of the Fresh Air Fund? It's a group that's operated for over 100 years sending children from New York City out into the country for a week or ten days to enjoy a totally different experience. We participated for the first time last year hosting two young girls who are returning today for another little vacation in the country. We pick them up this afternoon and look forward to the reunion and a week of fun activities. We're going to visit the farm where our milk comes from so the girls will have an opportunity to milk a cow, feed the chickens, and maybe help with the haying. We'll take them to our granddaughters' horseback riding lesson and hopefully they'll get a chance to groom a horse. Then we have an assortment of wonderful things to choose from: peach and berry picking, visiting the caverns, taking a hike in the George Washington National Forest, and, of course, letting them drive the tractor again. Should be a fun time. I hope you'll take a look at Fresh Air Fund and consider becoming a supporter. They're a group that deserves to continue for another 100 years!

I posted a question the other day about Planned Parenthood. Why, in view of Obamacare, are we giving this highly profitable "non-profit" any money at all? Planned Parenthood claims they serve those who wouldn't be getting health care without their wonderful service.

Well, that's one more lie!

In the interview I posted earlier today with Abby Johnson, this pithy quote reveals the truth about the need to have Planned Parenthood in order for women to get health care. It just ain't true! Go to 13:10 on the video to hear it yourself:

Because her lewd dance delighted him so much, Herod offered Salome anything she wanted even up to half his kingdom. Goaded on by Herodias who hated John and wanted to kill him, Salome asked for the head of John the Baptist on a platter.

"Because of his oath and the guests who were present...[Herod] sent the order to have John beheaded in prison." Matt 14: 9-10

How many times have we done something wrong out of human respect? Do we put man's opinion above God's? Consider, parents, how many times you have (fearing rejection) chosen to support an adult child in sin rather than face the unpleasant task of speaking the truth in love. How many children continue on the path of evil with a dead conscience because those around them, including parents, stroke them in their sin? I would rather die with my children hating me in the hope my witness would help convert them than see them go to hell aided by my ear tickling.

In an interview with political commentator Steven Crowder, former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson had this to say about the abortion giant's motives. (It's about the money, stupid!):

"my director told us that our goal was to create every phone call, every client visit into a revenue generating visit."

"the only way we can make money was to sell a woman an abortion. We were given the directive to sell abortions."

The former director explained that the business model is premised so that even the women they provide contraceptives to come back for an abortion–“the big ticket item”–at some point down the road.

“We were there as a family planning clinic, [which] provided abortion[s]....But the whole premise behind being a family planning clinic is to get woman on a contraceptive method that will eventually fail them. We know that 54 percent of women having abortions were using contraception at the time they got pregnant.”

“We had an abortion quota.”

Watch the entire interview. And note that Abby says 90% of pregnant women who come through the door choose abortions. Are we surprised? It's all about manipulating the "customer" through fear, guilt, or self-interest.
